Hey all!
A few months back I was looking to upgrade my PC as it's getting on now, so I'd like to go with a whole new build. I was looking at pre-builds but I assume you get more value for money if you build yourself.
Although my current PC runs games fine I often find myself at medium to low settings on most games. Think a lot of the parts are 5 years + old. Some of the games I play are Arma, PUBG, Battlefield which I know Arma and PUBG are pretty bad examples as their pretty badly optimised.
Anyway my current "build" which I have pretty limited info is:
Intel Core i7-2600k CPU @ 3.40 GHZ
8GB Ram
Nvidia Geforce GTX 970
Asus P8Z68-V Motherboard - This was part of an overclocked bundle from Overclockers a couple of years back with the processor. Was roughly £700 back then. It was krypton z68 650i core i7 pack**
700W Stealth X Stream 2 Powerpack.
Crappy tower so would be great to get a semi decent one too.
As the title says, I feel old looking at all of the new parts available and totally lost! So if someone has a spare moment would you be able to help me find parts for a new build. I'm roughly looking to spend £1500 or less. I have keyboard, mouse, monitors although I will upgrade my monitors at some point in the future but I would like to include a new tower.
Thank you for your time!
